M Train - Forest Ave. (Day 8, stop #336)

Out:The area here seems to be a mix of white (American) and Eastern European.Near the stop there is a Polish bakery, “Bosna Express” (see photo; it specializes in “the art of grilling” a la Balkans), and Tirana Café.

It’s like you can take a trip to the Balkans just by going to Queens. There are also some Hispanics around as well.Some other typical middle-class businesses include a florist, “Europa” grocery, deli, nail salon.There are small apartments and row houses, mostly 2-3 stories in brick or siding.There are trees everywhere in the sidewalk, adding to the pleasant feeling of the neighborhood.
